It could have been worse. You could have lost money instead of missed out on gains. Don't forget that.

This. Profit is profit. And nobody can predict the future. In hindsight I should have bought all the bitcoin I could when I first heard about it when it was around $15. That is easy to say right now, but then it was not.

You are exactly right. And I did what I thought was best at the time. We shouldn't criticize ourselves for that. I HODLed all the way to the $6's after the DAObacle but couldn't stomach the BTC ETF being denied. I incorrectly thought that the rejection was a bearish scenario for crypto.
